Game 59 | Cavaliers @ Celtics | February 25, 2010 | 8:00PM (EST)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Now that second half was the Cavalier basketball we all know and love dearly.
 
So does anyone know how long Shaq's going to be out? :(

No word yet. But this is what Windhorst wrote:

•Cavs have gone from two centers to none. Shaquille O'Neal suffered what the Cavs are calling a "significant" thumb sprain in the first half. That means it is pretty bad. That means he's going to be out for a while. Thumb injuries and big toe injuries are severe for basketball players. Whatever else happens tonight, this may be the biggest news.
 
Finally, they look like the team w/ the best NBA record again. Go Cavs, and thankfully, welcome back Mo's jump shot.
 
Bottle up whatever was said at halftime.

really good win. Nice to see Mo get back into the swing of things.

Howeva, Shaq injury worries me, hopefully he's back sometime in March.
 
Who were the top 5 +/- guys tonight? I bet that would be interesting...
 
This game only confirms what I have been saying the whole season: The Celtics are no longer contenders for the title.

Atlanta, Cleveland, and Orlando are definitely the top 3 teams in the east. Boston is the clear 4th, well behind the top 3, but still comfortably ahead of the rest of the teams.

I really hope we get them in the 2nd round, let Atlanta and Orlando duke it out while we hammer the Celtics in 5 games.
 
Andy will probably match up pretty well with Bargnani. Checking up on our schedule if there's any games in the near future where we'll really need Shaq ..

... wow, assuming he only misses a few weeks, we should be fine.
 
The best stat is 32 points allowed in the 2nd half. We allowed 31 in the first quarter. We kind of stumbled into it too, with Shaq getting injured. Varejao did a great job defensively.

32 off of 9 FGs!!!!
